Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy—and thereby the President’s science adviser—visited NIH on Apr. 18.
The morning-long visit included a meeting with institute directors and senior NIH leadership in Bldg. 1, then a tour of the Clinical Center.
Stops there included a briefing with Dr. Steve Rosenberg, chief of NCI’s Surgery Branch, and a tour of the special clinical studies unit, led by NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci.
